OUK and the Chase for Substance
Somebody is causing
signs in Nigeria that many people dared not, because of their egoistical

PLIGHT OF NDI IGBO WITHIN THE WEST-COAST
Great Compatriots, Let me use this
wonderful opportunity to remind the great leaders of Ndi Igbo most especially
of this great platform NJIKO IGBO about the plight of ndi igbo in Diaspora. In
my mind I believe through you the minister of foreign affairs will get to know
this and not only knowing but to do something about it.
When you go round the world and
check those Nigerians inside prisons in different countries, you will find out
that majority of them are Igbos, some though contravene the law of their host
countries and are culpable of one crime or the other but more are even innocent
to the charges that have been leveled against them, but due to the altitude of
Nigerian ambassador in this countries they are still there in the prisons in
most cases without been charge or even given a fair hearing.
